Tor2web VS Onion.ly

I am trying to access DuckDuckGo from the Tor to web gateway at https://tor2web.org but it seems .onion.to, .onion.city, .onion.cab, and .onion.direct are all not working. Are there working tor2web gateways, so I do not have to use the Tor browser to access onion services? Source: 8 months ago

You could possibly also use a TOR2Web instance or host your own. I have heard this is not a good idea but I have no idea why. Tor2web.org. Source: about 2 years ago

Also don't work for me, onion.ly give error:. Source: about 1 year ago

I am not sure about this, because onion.autos is proxy for tor, and before that it was onion.ly but they are down for some reason, and the new one onion.autos is having some issues with me. For example, I am in a forum for science projects and a lot of users use it without a problem with onion.autos but for some reason for me it has some problems and I don't know how to fix it.

If you cant find a library, you can try to use tor2web instead, like onion.ly :). Source: over 2 years ago

Anyways I clicked on the links while in Tor they just opened normally retaining the .onion domain... I don't know why some other links turn into an onion.ly domain... Source: about 3 years ago

I installed it, (the only option I had was install location), and then opened my VPN (Just to be sure), and then went to a .onion link. The browser instantly changed it into a onion.ly link and told me its block. Source: about 3 years ago
